Brewer had previously admitted stealing jewelry from several homes in the Harrison area, bringing her children along with her.

Brewer was pregnant at the time of the burglaries, which caused her to be dubbed the "Pregnant Burglar" in the media.

During sentencing, Brewer took the stand to apologize and tell the judge what happened.

"I'm not going to try and make up any excuses or justification. I know that I did wrong. And I apologize so much," she said.

Brewer said that several months after gastric bypass surgery in 2008, her doctor cut her pain medications off, but she knew she was hooked.

She said she lied to her family about her drug and alcohol addictions and how she used the burglaries to fuel the addictions.

"When you are addicted to something, nothing else at that time matters than you and your addiction, and it's not right and it doesn't make sense, but that's the way that you think, that's the way that you function," Brewer said. "Everything is about that next high."

"I would be driving, and I would see a house and see if there was a car in the driveway or in the garage. and if there wasn't, I'd pull in and knock, and if no one answered, then I would try the front door," she told the court Tuesday.

While she faced up to 98 years in prison, Brewer was sentenced to four years in prison, though the judge can have her moved to a rehabilitation program at a later date.
